    Awesome work! I'm looking forward to digging into this over the weekend.

    One thing. I'm just exploring the "Walkthrough: Creating a Basic MVC Project in Visual Studio" resource. I'm totally new to MVC so I may be missing something but shouldn't the ActionLinks in the navigation -

    <%=Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index">

    contain the 3rd parameter for the controller like -

    <%=Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")%>?

    Otherwise, when you navigate to the Login page and use the Home (and About) tabs it uses the Login not the Home controller and you get a "page not found error".

    Hi Will,

      There is an overload for Html.ActionLink() which also takes the controller name... You can use that in such sitution that you have described above...

    wishes

    Hi, I learned from weblogs.asp.net/scottgu that Asp.net MVC Preview2 source codes will be released, however I can't find it anywhere.

    Do you have any words on this? Thanks!

    I downloaded and installed MVC Preview 2 but cannot find the ASP.NET MVC Project template in VS2008.

    Am I missing something...

    I could find the same. I was looking under File > New > WebSite

    The templates are in:

    File > New > Project > <anylanguage> > Web > ASP.NET MVC Web Application

    and File > New > Project > <anylanguage> > Test > ASP.NET MVC Test
